No those two warts went away on the first treatment at the clinic when I was initially diagnosed. However it took me approximately 9 months to find the doctor I have now. By then I had a few tiny warts appear and that's when I started with the regular cryo treatments. Once you start treating the warts it is not uncommon for things to get worse before they get better. During that time of regular treatments I would get anywhere for 2 to 6 new warts per month. Then all of a sudden, poof, no more warts.

4 years. FML.

I was diagnosed a little over a week ago, but the virus has been in system for at least 20 months. Either the virus has been dormant or my immune system has been effective at fighting off the virus until now. Irregardless, I am trying to remain positive and deal with my diagnosis one day at a time.

In follow up to my initial post in March- TCA was a dream - barely felt anything, healed wonderfully and quickly - the ones she treated - and no signs of scarring or bumps.

Has anyone else found their doctors unwilling or less than enthusiastic to treat them? My doctor got me all hyped up about TCA and told me it would be the worst pain of my entire life and tried to talk me out of it (to give some background, I have a really high pain tolerance. Tattoos/piercings don't even phase me) She "compromised" with me by saying "I'll treat the ones that really bother you." Hello! They all really bother me! I had some internal ones that I didn't want to try ACV on so I let her do those.

I'm reluctant to go back due to my doc's reluctance to treat tho. Have any females gone to a DERMATOLOGIST for TCA/Cryo? I love my derm and they did tell me they treat it. I just feel a little odd going there over an OBYGN. :-\

Hope everyone is doing well :)

Since 2007! Had keep, hysterectomy, efudex, aldara.... Just won't go away! Now with an Onocologist. Told me I won't die... That's the good news. Haven't had. Sex for long time. Feel bad I have this and won't go away.

Meant to say I had leep. I just had lazer surgery in sept. Was off work for couple of months as anal and vaginal along with outside. 2 visits to follow up and acid a couple of times. Now on aldara. I hope one day this is gone. I also don't really wear underwear anymore as so uncomfortable. Just want to heal. Thought abt trying tree tea oil someone posted. I don't seem to be having any luck getting rid of. Yes have had since 2007!

I was diagnosed with HPV in September 2013. I noticed a few warts around February.

3 years. It hasn't shown up since 2011, and then last week just had a very bad cold and its backlife sucks

been battling with this for yrs it makes me feel so dirty in my own skin. a girl I dated for 3yrs got pregnant said the baby was mine I got a dna done and guess what wont mine then she tells me I may need to get checked for genital
warts

1 year and three surgeries and i think i finally have it under control.

Weird story. About 10 years ago I had abnormal Pap. Was told HPV. Had leep and cone biopsy. Clear results after that and my doctor told me I was clear and no longer have it. It's negative. So I figured it was gone for good and many years went by with no abnormal pap.

Fast forward to December 2014. 2014 was a very crazy year for me. I ended a very long relationship w/ abusive partner, moved out, started dating again, reunited w/ old friends. Then my ex started harassing and stalking me so there was tons of stress for months until I got a restraining order.

I dated a bit and had sex w/ several guys then finally started seeing one guy exclusively. Unlike my past partners he was really obsessed w/ anal sex. Although I'm lightly experienced w/ anal sex, I'm not really crazy about it, plus my partner has a freakishly large endowment. We tried it several times without great success. ANYWAY guess what! December I'm getting weird feelings of itchiness and moisture in my anal area. Then one day I'm showering and feel a bump. I look and there are little warts growing out of my ass like they are coming from the inside spreading out. Total freakout obviously.

Fast forward: had surgery Feb 2015. Holy hell it hurt. He said there was a lot on the inside so I figure it had been developing without my knowledge for months last year. Spent several weeks recovering and it was a learning experience to say the least.

Good news: A few little ones have come back but they've been handled quickly w/ acid and now I'm doing Aldara. I only have one tiny visible wart but I'm going to stay on course full the full amount of time.

Of course it could come back--- I never found out if this was a recurrence of the original virus or a new one. My intuition says it is a completely new infection bc of the time frame, and the new partner(s), and the anal sex.

I feel in my heart a lot of the manifestation from this came from stress. I also feel that although my case was rather extensive internally, that I'm seeing the end of this. It seems to be fading and losing the fight. So in my mind, even though treatment is still ongoing, I feel this chapter is over. I'm functioning fine. I'm still w/ my partner. There is minor scarring but nothing I care about. And obviously I never will be asked for anal sex again!

I first noticed a bump in September 2014. Diagnosed with GW in February 2015. I've done one round of Aldara, which didn't seem to be effective on mine. Scheduled for surgery in May 2015.

I also had the Gardasil vaccine 6-7 years ago, and can't remember the last time I had unprotected sex. Feeling very defeated, scared, and ashamed. Appreciate all the support that's here.

Flowerslove--I hope the latest round of treatment has some positive results. So sorr you've been struggling with it for so long.

Since 2007. They get treated and eventually they seem to come back.

Hi, I was diagnosed with low rist HPV in Aug 2012. I used ACV and got rid of the warts in about two weeks. I had no symptoms since then but I am not sure this means I am clear of the virus. I didn't have any new sexual partners since and I am not sure if I can still give it so somebody or not. I wish there was a way of finding out. I've been clear of symptoms for 4 and a half years. I am now thinking about having sex with a new partner and I am terrified in case I would pass this to him. It is really a romance breaker.
